Tottenham v Burnley

Exactly what I was saying about Merson a couple of days ago...

Tottenham v Burnley – Saturday, 3pm



Sky Sports' Paul Merson on Harry Kane
Believe it or not, I fancy Tottenham to win. I’ve come to a conclusion: every time I tip Spurs they lose and every time I say they’ll get beat they win, but I do fancy them this week. They’ve had two great results this week and they’ve hit a bit of a run – barring the Chelsea result.

PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0

This throws the mojo out the window for me.

On a decent run of form and a smart manager, they will be well prepared for us. Tricky one, as ever an early goal vital.

Kiith

I'd be fairly optimistic about this. Burnley have been pretty poor this season, and have joint worst goal difference, so we should knock a few past them. 3-0, with Kane, Eriksen and Soldado to score.

Or we'll draw 1-1 in a terrible/scrappy game.

mickman

Yeah after wed night i am more optimistic. That kind of performance and result has to help the team.

2-0

Sugarlumps

Ade is available for the game. Just saying, he's gonna be needed over the busy christmas period.

I'd rather play with no striker

If Kane gets injured, were fúcked.

2-0 Tottenham.

I'd play Ade and rest Kane, bring him on after 60 if needed, games coming thick and fast now.

Sugarlumps

Na'h, Kane's on fire. It would be a huge error not to start him. But not for 90 minutes.

If we don't win this we can kiss any outside chance of CL goodbye. My starting XL

Lloris, Walker, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies, Stambouli, Bentalab, Eriksen, Lennon, Kane, Adebayor

Sugarlumps

#THFC Team: Lloris (c); Walker, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Mason; Lamela, Eriksen, Chadli; Kane #COYS

Subs: Vorm, Chiriches, Rose, Dembele, Stambouli, Townsend, Soldado

Eriksen to run the show in his favored position.

Why does Soldado never start after scoring?

Problem is Pochettino has now settled that Eriksen has to play middle behind striker and Kane has to play. That leaves only one up front spot for Kane and Soldado pushed to bench.

I think he is right. It's our best formation and Chadli deserves to play too

Chadli's play alongside Kane's performances for me have probably been the highlights of the season.
Most of us had written him off on last years showings.

Finally Kane at home

Bollox, great finish it must be said.

Kane missed a sitter. Should be 2-1

Ade to start?! Are you mad?! Does it not piss you off how he's making a mockery of our football club? That fella should never play for us again

Lamella has arrived.

slegs

Well done Lamela....about time though!

Left Back on the Bench

Now get at the full back

irishmover

Lamela is **** lads!

galwayjohn89

Much happier with the Newcastle match and that fitst half. Still lots of problems but at least we are scoring and it's entertaining football. Very impressed with Lamella today, even ignoring the goal he's made some good runs and played in some good balls, also showed strength a few times.

irishmover

What a pass from Eriksen to Chadli. Shame it didn't result in a goal.

Glebee

Just cant get that goal to put the game to bed..

irishmover

Match winning save by Lloris. Got a little lucky in the end.

mickman

Another good 3 points .

No reason why we can't get another 3 points at leicester on St Stephens
